OSGeo Board

OSGeo board operates according to our bylaws providing vision and direction for our foundation. The board has also taken on responsibility setting for an annual budget, building partner relationships, sponsorship program and code sprints.

No operational budget requested. Requesting 3,000 per project to strictly be used towards incubation progress (managed by the incubation committee). Note all projects in incubation have access to additional funding via the OSGeo community project program.

Total Committees Budget for 2019: $76,450 USD

OSGeo Initiatives

GeoForAll - education and research program produced in collaboration with our partners

Incubation - mentor program for open source projects to be recognized as OSGeo project

Events

Community Events

We are considering setting aside a budget for community events in 2019:

Supporting community building events is distinct from the development focused code-sprints below

We are inviting community members to contact us about events (rather than try and adjust their event to fit into our code sprint guidelines)

OSGeo is is focused on our outreach goals as an organization as such our primary contribution to events is free software and enthusiasm rather than finical, we use funding to enable our members rather than for sponsorship and visibility.

Previously we have had requests to fund a "community day" or "community sprints" as part a larger event as distinct from sponsorship, the have been funded to the best of our ability
